Wrench Recover Solaris 11 pkg database

Hi,

I was messing with pkgsrc and wanted to start fresh so I manually deleted the /var/pkg directory on Solaris 11 Smilie (of course I was supposed to delete the /var/db folder instead)...

Anyways... I've basically bricked the Solaris11 Package Manager. Do you know if there is any way to recreate the /var/pkg database without doing a full format? I've had no luck trying to find a simple rebuild command or anything like that.

Any pkg * command returns the error:
Code:
      pkg: No image rooted at '/'

but everything else in the OS still functions normally.

Thanks!

NAME
pkg::create - Construct an appropriate 'package ifneeded' command for a given package specification SYNOPSIS
::pkg::create -name packageName -version packageVersion ?-load filespec? ... ?-source filespec? ... _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
::pkg::create is a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl library. It is used to create an appropriate package ifneeded com- mand for a given package specification. It can be used to construct a pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the package mechanism. OPTIONS
The parameters supported are: -name packageName This parameter specifies the name of the package. It is required. -version packageVersion This parameter specifies the version of the package. It is required. -load filespec This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded with the load command. filespec is a list with two elements. The first element is the name of the file to load. The second, optional element is a list of commands supplied by loading that file. If the list of procedures is empty or omitted, ::pkg::create will set up the library for direct loading (see pkg_mkIndex). Any num- ber of -load parameters may be specified. -source filespec This parameter is similar to the -load parameter, except that it specifies a Tcl library that must be loaded with the source com- mand. Any number of -source parameters may be specified. At least one -load or -source parameter must be given. SEE ALSO
